Fac: 51


The Haçienda (fac 51 haçienda) was a nightclub and music venue located in the centre of Manchester, UK, which opened in 1982 and survived until 1997.

The club was the physical representation of the Factory record label - being ideated by factory boss Anthony Wilson, Rob Gretton and the band New Order. The club's name came from a slogan of the radical group 'situationist international'. The line 'the haçienda must be built',
can be found in Ivan Chtcheglov’s formulary for a new urbanism.

During its fifteen year life-span the club experienced many highs and lows. On one hand it is remembered for its benchmark concerts from the likes of The Smiths, OMD, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Happy Mondays, James, and The Duritti Column. Around the late 1980s it popularised the house music craze and the early rave scene in Europe.

By the early 90s, The Haçienda had become 'world famous' on the club scene but was forced to close in 1997, by which time it had become better known for drug gangs and their power struggles.

The building where the club once stood has since been destroyed
and replaced by a block of luxury apartments. Too bad, because the music that came from there is changing the world today. That's Right,
